With winds IRL gusting up to 50kts the real fleet in this year's Coastal Classic took a pretty hefty beating on their way to the wharf in Russell. The SOL fleet, however, stayed feet-dry and sails-intact, and with supplementation of coffee for those in Europe to keep them SOLing through the night, the podium is decided! A tough race, with 50 boats finishing in just over 20mins! Talk about competitive!
BRAVO to the podium - it was a grand race by all!
